alright, so I like to inject some questions into this thread and change the usual convos you see in here for a bit.
Let's say hypothetically speaking, you somehow end up with the complete IP rights to AWAM, you have everything, all the 3d assets, Ren'py files and written scripts you need to continue AWAM yourself.
What are the first few things you do?
An intriguing prospect & hypothetically possible, via winning the lottery & buying L&P out, for a fair price of course. There are 2 diametrically opposed ways to look at it. An individual could either take the stories down the route they wanted, by acting as creative advisor, to the highly skilled & motivated under contract team they'd recruited, or they could carry on as at present & attempt to deliver the product that L&P appears to believe the core fans want, which perhaps they do. Either way, the contracts would be drafted to a standard commensurate with current business practice, including stipulations on timely delivery.
I'd rewrite the mission statement to reaffirm a commitment to realism & class. I'd also include a phrase to the effect that so-called "porn logic," (whatever that is), would not generally apply to this game, as being contrary to the stated commitments. Any idea of 30 PDs, or a specific time limit would have to go but there'd be no question of AWAM lasting another 40 years. There'd be no more polls. There'd be no "2nd MC." Sophia's breasts would return to the size 36D, that they were for the first 3 or so years, i.e. no more beachball breast syndrome. Both side jobs would disappear at the start of the "under new management" regime. There'd be fewer virgins & no teen prodigies. Talented yes, genius no. Dylan & Sam would both have girlfriends, as befitted their lives as handsome, single young bachelors. Ellie would be a normal teenager, with all the hang-ups & opportunities that go with that status. She'd still have occasional bitchiness but wouldn't make a hobby out of it concerning Dylan.
AWAM's early days would be re-written to eliminate any & all references to Sophia's nun-like behaviour. She'd have the attitudes of a 'normal' upper middle class suburban wife, mother & professional woman. One scene would be deleted entirely, namely the drive across town to take a shower, having already had a bath, i.e. no more cleanliness OCD.
Apart from the side job characters being written out no-one else would be but several would slip seamlessly into the background & have no further sexualised roles to play, e.g. Mr. Murray. All adjustments would be made in order to streamline & simplify the various routes & sub branches. Some would go, or be merged. There'd be no more duplication of cast characteristics or kinks. It would take too long to list all the changes that would require.
If the decision was made to continue as at present, albeit with frequent updates, I will simply outline the final scenario as a possible concluding vignette. Sophia relaxes in a fairly well-appointed beach house, which she was able to afford after the divorce settlement. It's no more than a couple of hundred miles from San Alejo, with great views over the Pacific Ocean, so that Ellie & Patricia can be visited, or come to stay regularly. She may have had between a quarter & a half of her head shaved with geometric patterns included, in an effort to look younger & please her partner Dylan. She's naked & normally her pierced nipples would carry rings or bars, sometimes matching the stud through her tongue & the jewels through her navel. Her breasts are now of an indeterminate size but resemble medicine balls, after her new friends & colleagues convinced her that nature needed expansion. Many of the old codgers at the run down care home where she works love to have them thrust in their faces.
She's tattooed along her arms, with one full sleeve, which includes life-like portraits of Dylan. Her landing strip has gone to make visible a red heart & the words, "Property of Dylan." As I say, usually she has jewellery in her nipples but currently she's pregnant with her son's child & she still thinks highly of hygiene. As for the lad himself, he snuggles into the warmth, comfort & softness of his mother's huge breasts. He doesn't need to work & exists on his father's money but he is fully appreciative that all of his wildest fantasies have been realised. He's even the MC of his own game.
. I am sure he will be hyped by such an awesome proposition.
